Method

  • step 1

    Preheat the grill to high. Tip the bulgur and 450ml/16fl oz cold water into a large saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer for 8 minutes. Toss in the peas and leek and bubble for 3-5 minutes more, until soft.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, while the bulgur bubbles, make the glaze and cook the gammon. Squeeze the juice of one orange half into a pan, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, honey and mustard and simmer for 2 minutes until sticky. Season the steaks with pepper only, put them on the rack and grill for 5-6 minutes each side, brushing frequently with the glaze.

  • step 3

    When the bulgur is done, drain, season well with salt and pepper and fork in the mint sauce.

  • step 4

    Cut each steak in half and serve on the bulgur, with the remaining orange half cut into segments.

Ref sticky glaze, the proportions are wrong . Should be 1 of 2 tablespoon of honey. Teaspoon or 2 of Worcestershire sauce, about quarter of an oranges juice 2 teaspoons of mustard if u like a kick

I didn't like this recipe. Too much leek and too much mint sauce. The gammon glaze wasn't great either.

I took on board from the comments below and simmered the glaze a lot longer than the recipe says and it was sticky but I just didnt think it had much taste and didnt add much to the gammon

question

Agree it sounds yummy but how is it possible to describe the dish as 'surprisingly healthy' when it contains nearly 7g of salt per portion? That's one gram over the recommended daily intake for adults.

Because they’re sticking with the wrong-headed notion that low fat = healthy, despite the evidence to the contrary.

Yum! Definitely going to make this again. Surprisingly low cal and very fast. I used spring onions instead of leeks, and giant couscous instead of bulgur.
